Allmed Solutions and its subsidiary, TruLeaf Medical, have completed the final stage of a trial for their innovative RoseDoc system. The new technology allows for a diseased heart valve to be fully replaced with a new, functional one, performed solely through a needle stick access point.
The groundbreaking procedure was carried out on two patients suffering from severe heart failure caused by a massive leak in their tricuspid valve (the three-leaflet valve on the right side of the heart). For both patients, conventional medical and surgical options had been exhausted, and their condition was considered too severe to undergo standard open-heart surgery. The investigational treatment was therefore provided under a compassionate care pathway.
